All of the .rpm based distros that I use recommend putting ./configure --libdir=%_libdir ..... in the .spec file. %_libdir is is /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 Since you want to use /usr/local you should write ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/%_lib for rpm based distros. The Debian based distros that I have used don't need anything done because /usr/lib works for 64bit. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@xxxxxx PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
